Situated in the hilly and green region of Igatpuri, this dam is located near the village Bhavali on Darana River, which is a tributary of the Godavari river. This earth-fill dam on the Bham river is a visual treat and an adventure too! The photo here shows the reservoir behind the falls on this dam. As you make your way towards the falls, don’t stop just there, because that sight in itself is quite beautiful too.

But, if you follow the uphill trek via the downtrodden steps, you’ll reach to this spot (in the picture above and below) which stretches along the horizon, with green water and blue skies, and of course the surrounding greenery too.

Your travel and your monsoon trek needs are satiated all in one at this spot. The way to the falls (by road) is a green stretch too and for nature lovers like me, it’s the perfect anticlimax.
